Burnham heads list of candidates to replace Starmer as PM preferred by Labour members
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"A poll of Labour members has confirmed that there is an appetite to replace Sir Keir Starmer, with Andy Burnham as the favourite choice to succeed him. According to a poll of 1,013 Labour members by Survation for LabourList, Mr Burnham would be favoured over Sir Keir by 58 per cent to 32 per cent. Norwich South MP Clive Lewis last week offered to give up his seat so Mr Burnham could run for parliament to allow him to become leader."
"Energy secretary Ed Miliband, who lost the 2015 election as Labour leader, is also preferred to Sir Keir by four points with 44 per cent to 40 per cent. And health secretary Wes Streeting, who was at the centre of accusations recently from Downing Street that he was plotting to overthrow the PM, would win by 33 per cent to 31 per cent."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating matters such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet requests donations to fund reporters on the ground, emphasizes trust across the political spectrum, refuses to use paywalls, and states a belief that quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid by those who can afford it. A Survation poll of 1,013 Labour members indicates appetite to replace Sir Keir Starmer: Andy Burnham leads 58% to 32%, Angela Rayner leads the PM 52% to 33%, Ed Miliband 44% to 40%, and Wes Streeting 33% to 31%.
